Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention is such that an eyeball formed on the toy body rotates to a predetermined angle in conjunction with switching the toy body forward and backward. The present invention relates to a traveling toy in which an appropriate operation mechanism formed on a toy body is operated via an operation switching mechanism.

(Prior Art) Toys of this type that are provided with a traveling mechanism and other appropriate operating mechanisms have been provided as appropriate. For example, there is a toy doll that walks sideways and makes certain movements, such as the one described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-1694. This is configured to move the broom at the same time as horizontal walking using a power device.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, this had the disadvantage that the motion of walking sideways and the motion of moving the broom were performed in succession, making the motion monotonous. In particular, this type of toy must be novel and interesting, and must be something that young children and others can be interested in and enjoy for a long period of time.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) Therefore, the present invention fixes the drive gear 31 to the drive shaft 15 to which the drive rotational force of the motor 10 is transmitted after being appropriately decelerated, and the drive gear 31 The pair of axle gears 4, in which the revolving gear 32 is fixed to the axle 40, are rotated by 180 degrees.
1 and 42 to form a forward/reverse switching mechanism A which can freely switch the forward/backward rotation of the axle 40. Further, appropriate switching gears (a large switching gear 61 and a small switching gear 62) rotated by the rotational force of the drive shaft 15 are pivotally supported on a swinging piece 50, and this swinging piece 50 switches between forward and backward movement. An operation switching mechanism B is formed which is linked to the mechanism A and can swing freely to a predetermined angle. Then, an eyeball body 80 is rotatably formed on the toy main body T1, and an eyeball body rotation mechanism C is formed in which the eyeball body 80 is linked to the forward/backward movement switching mechanism A and rotates to a predetermined angle. Furthermore, by forming an appropriate operation mechanism that can be freely operated by being removably engaged with the appropriate switching gear (large switching gear 61 or small switching gear 62) of the operation switching mechanism B,
We aim to provide novel and interesting toys.

(Function) According to the forward/reverse switching mechanism A, the revolving gear 32 revolves 180 degrees while remaining in mesh with the drive gear 31, and alternately meshes with the pair of axle gears 41 and 42 to move the axle 40 forward and backward. The forward rotation is switched. Further, by the operation switching mechanism B linked to the forward/reverse switching mechanism A, the swing piece 50 on which the switching gears (large switching gear 61, small switching gear 62) are pivotally supported swings to a predetermined angle. In addition, the operating mechanism is operated as appropriate by meshing with the switching gear (large switching gear 61 or small switching gear 62).
Furthermore, the eyeball body rotation mechanism C that operates in conjunction with the forward/backward switching mechanism A rotates the eyeball body 80 to a predetermined angle in conjunction with the operating mechanism.

It incorporates a running mechanism E and a sounding mechanism F.

In the forward/reverse switching mechanism A, the rotational force of a drive gear 11 fixed to a drive shaft of a motor 10 is transmitted through reduction gears 13 and 14 fixed to a reduction gear shaft 12 and a reduction gear 16 fixed to a drive shaft 15. A drive gear 31 is fixed to the lower end portion of the drive shaft 15, and a drive gear 30 is rotatably attached to the drive shaft 15, meshing with the drive gear 31 and transmitting the signal to the drive shaft 15.
